Last time on Total Drama Cruise, the passengers had a quiz challenge of the ages. If they failed to answer a question, a duel was enacted, and the winner would get to move on further into the challenge. As it came down to the wire, only the female contestants remained in the end, and it was a battle of the sexes. In a strange turn of events, The Goddesses lost after Katara knocked Starr out, because Jennifer took the win for The Black Hearts, and it was lover boy Julius, who walked the plank. Now there are still eighteen contestants remaining, and a ton of cash on the line. Who will walk the plank tonight on total…Drama…CRUISE!

The Goddesses- Empty Class- Remaining Members: 5

"We lost…again, are we ever gonna catch a break?" Starr asked.

(confessional)

Bill: Under Starr's leadership, we've lost more challenges than we did under Aphrodite's, then again, Aphrodite was only the second person voted off…, and we did win the challenge right after she was eliminated through Starr's leadership…, oh well, she still needs to go…

(end)

"We can keep going as a team, besides, smaller teams bond quicker," Tan said.

"As long as we don't lose today, I'm cool with whatever," Wally added.

"I like your enthusiasm guys, let's keep going, as a TEAM!" Bill said triumphantly.

(confessional)

Bill: In retrospect, I probably should have recruited either Wally or Tan over Julius, but, what's passed is passed, now I need to focus on the task at hand, and that's getting Aurora eliminated instead of myself should the others ever find out about our sub-alliance.

(end)

"So…, anyway Bill, with Julius gone, what do we do?" Aurora asked.

"We have to get Wally on our side, Wally's an underdog, and he knows how to play this game correctly," Bill finished.

"I hope that it's possible now, Wally and Tan are good buddies, and Starr's cool with them too! It'll be tough to convince Wally to vote off either one!" Aurora said in aggravated tone.

(confessional)

Aurora: Maybe I should just jump ship…, with Bill I mean…, he's a good player, but he's on the outs right now with the team, and I don't wanna go down with him if his ship is sinking!

(end)

The Wild Cards- Normal Class- Remaining Members: 6

"Like hell we'd lose twice in a row, that is NOT how The Wild Cards operate!" Calvin cheered.

"Yeah, but we are in danger still, we haven't been in First Class for a while now, and The Black Hearts haven't lost anybody since Jupiter left," Leo stated.

"We can still take this game by storm! Me and Ace will tear It UP!" Calvin yelled.

"Heck yeah we will!" Ace said, reaching up for a high five.

"I meant my raccoon, but eh…, what the heck! THAT'S COOL TOO!" Calvin cheered again, returning the high five.

(confessional)

Zacharious: There's four Villains left in this game, myself, Matt, Emma, and Bill…, from what I can see, Matt and Emma have played the worst so far, but hey, Zacharious doesn't go down without a fight!

(end)

"Let's try to AT LEAST get back here again guys," Mimi said.

"Fine by me, as long as we don't end up on the elimination dock, I'm cool with whatever happens," Leo said.

"Cept' today, we're goin' back to FIRST CLASS!" Katara finished.

"High ambitions, I like that in a person," Zacharious said.

"Shut it thief, you stole Keisha's mirror, don't think that WE forgot about that!" Katara growled.

"I simply wanted to turn that team against one another, it's a strategy I picked up from watching this show for so long, you can't hate on me for it, I just got rid of some of the…weaker players is all," Zacharious stated.

"Suuure, whatever you say…freak," Katara said, folding her arms.

The Black Hearts- First Class- Remaining Members: 7

"Seven left, and we're still in the lead, I could get used to this," Jasper said.

"Sadly, the more we win, the more we have to listen to captain asshole over there," Skye said, with a roll of her eyes, looking over at Matt, who was flexing.

"Eh, let him think he's cool, he can't win this game, it's not possible," Jasper stated.

"Let's just focus on keeping up with the wins, and when we're the final seven, we'll axe Matt, Emma, and Dan in that order," Jennifer announced.

"You think you've got it all figured out do ya? Well lemme tell you something girly! Me and Emma have a plan too! And you're not in it!" Matt laughed.

"And you're an asshole, what else is new?" Jennifer retorted, Matt grinded his teeth, and shook his fist at her, as Emma walked by.

"Calm down Matt," Emma stated, "This is how she wants you to react."

"I WON'T CALM DOWN! I CONTROLLED THIS TEAM IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS GAME!" Matt yelled, "YA WANNA KNOW HOW MUCH TOO? I SWAPPED THE VOTES TO FORD! I GOT EVERYBODY AGAINST CARMEN! ME AND YOU THREW JUPITER UNDER THE BUS…TOGETHER! AND NOW…IT'S ALL GONNA COME TO AN END! BECAUSE I JOINED FORCES WITH YOU! I could have been rid of you by now! But noooo, you just had to be BEAUTIFUL! But y'know what! I'm not gonna sit back and allow these stupid frickin' nerds get the better of me! I WILL win this game, WITHOUT YOUR HELP EMMA!" Matt growled, as he kicked Ryan in the balls, and walked away.

"Ass…," Dan laughed.

"My…kiwis…," Ryan said, as he collapsed.

Emma had tears in her eyes, "Fine…, see if I care…, you big JERK!" she said, as she ran off crying.

"Whoa! That was…explosive, Matt needs to learn some self control," Skye said.

"Well, he just sealed his fate, he'll be gone next for sure now!" Jasper said.

"CAMPERS! IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT TODAY'S CHALLENGE, WHICH IS A CHALLENGE OF CRUISE SHIP BOWLING WILL BE UNDERWAY IN TWO MINUTES!...SO YEEEEEAH…PLEASE REPORT TO THE BOWLING ALLEY!" Chris said over the loudspeaker.

"Bowling? That's just…STUPID!" Dan said, as he started chuckling.

At the bowling alley, each passenger stood at next to each other in team coordinated uniforms, "Okay," Chris said, "Since this is a bowling challenge, you will all have to roll the ball down the pathway, buuut since there is ten frames, some of you will have to TWICE for your teams, while on The Goddesses, everybody has to go twice!" Chris laughed, "Now, aside from the contestants, there are NO distractions, just a normal game of bowling, so…, let's get this party started kiddies!"

"I rock at bowling, lemme get this one!" Matt said, getting a glare from Ryan, Jasper, and Skye.

"Ummm…, no, you aren't being one of the people to go TWICE!" Ryan said.

"And why not dweeb?" Matt asked.

"BECAUSE after how you overreacted, you shouldn't even be here at all!" Jasper explained.

"Shut it dork, just lemme handle this challenge all by myself!" Matt growled.

"That's pathetic…," Emma said, rolling her eyes.

"Whatever babe…, you're one to talk, crybaby," Matt said, Emma just looked away without saying a word and bit her lip.

"First bowlers ready? GO!" Chris said.

Ace, Matt, and Starr walked up.

"Watch and learn kids!" Matt laughed, as he released his ball, it rolled into the gutter right away, "Wait, what are you kidding ME?"

"Nope, you just STINK bro!" Chris laughed.

Ace quickly walked up, and with his ability to use perfect precision, he got a perfect strike, "Booyah!" he cheered, as he looked at Starr, "Good luck milady!" Ace said, with a wink, Starr blushed.

"Okay, he said good luck, I can do this, come on Starr! Let's go!" Starr yelled, as she hurled the ball, it knocked down six pins.

"Six, zero, and ten," Chris said, "Oh yeah, in this game, there's no going twice, ya get whatcha knock down."

The Wild Cards: 10

The Goddesses: 6

The Black Hearts: 0

"Interesting, do I get a point for this?" Matt asked, as he pegged a bowling that smashed the back of Ace's head, knocking him out.

"Ummm…no…, that was uncalled for dude," Chris said, as he walked over to check on Ace, "Okay well…, he's alive…, buuut…, he'll be out for awhile, so he can't play anymore." Chris said as everyone, including Matt's own team glared at him.

"Whoops, sorry kids, my hand was sweaty," Matt laughed.

"Okay…next up is…Calvin, Dan, aaand Tan," Chris said.

Calvin pulled out a cannon, "If human Ace can do it, then we can also do it!" Calvin laughed, as he lit the fuse.

"I'm just gonna back away here a bit…," Tan said, as he nervously did so.

The fuse finally got to the end, and the cannon fired, the ball smashed into seven pins and knocked them down, as Calvin cheered.

"LIKE A BOSS!" Calvin yelled.

"Nice shot dude! Me next!" Tan called out, as he rolled the ball, the ball easily knocked down eight pins, keeping The Goddesses in second.

"Heck yeeah man!" Tan cheered.

"I'm going now too!" Dan cheered, as he threw the ball at the pins, unfortunately, he threw it to high up, and it bounced off the back wall, and smacked Dan in the face.

"Interesting way to play…, but still, it didn't get any points for you guys, so that still leaves you all at zero," Chris laughed.

The Wild Cards: 17

The Goddesses: 14

The Black Hearts: 0

"We'll never win at this rate…," Skye said, facepalming.

"Yes we will!" Jasper said motivationally, "If we believe, we can SUCCEED!" Jasper called out.

"If you say so…," Jennifer said, folding her arms.

"Okay…, the next round is Katara, Wally, AND Jasper!" Chris said.

"Pffft…to easy," Katara said, as she lifted up the twenty pound ball, thinking it was ten pounds, she suddenly dropped it from the shock of the extra weight, and it began rolling down the aisle, when it hit the pins, it knocked down two, and deposited itself in the ball drop zone, "WHAT? NO FAIR!" she growled.

"Stinks for you…," Chris laughed, as Wally and Jasper moved simultaneously, Wally let his ball roll straight down the middle, while Jasper forgot to let go of his, and he threw it down behind himself.

Wally landed a nine pin score, while Jasper frowned.

"Are you guys TRYING to suck?" Chris asked.

"I'm just used to Wii Bowling…, that's all…," Jasper stated.

"Whatever…," Chris said, "That's another zero on the board for The Black Hearts, as The Goddesses take the lead!"

The Goddesses: 23

The Wild Cards: 19

The Black Hearts: 0

"Alright, if you guys get one more zero, I'm calling off the challenge, and the three people who don't go, will get invincibility when you guys go to the elimination ceremony," Chris explained.

"But why is that?" Ryan asked.

"Because you guys seeeriously stink! I have never seen so many people bowl this badly before," Chris told them.

"I can bowl like a boss!" Ryan said.

"Good, then you can go now, and if you get a zero, then you get the boot," Matt laughed.

"I doubt that Matt! Even if I do get a zero, Jasper, Dan, Emma, Jennifer, and Skye all want YOU out over me!" Ryan laughed.

"Then test your luck bud! We'll see what happens!" Matt said, with a grin on his face.

"Yes we will!" Ryan said, with a determined look on his face.

"Alright, the possibly last three people to go, are Mimi, Aurora, and RYAN!" Chris called out.

Mimi and Aurora both went at the same time, Mimi got a strike, Aurora got a five, putting The Wild Card's back in first, however, when Ryan went, his ball exploded, sending the nerd flying back into the wall, as he coughed out smoke.

"Aaand…, The Black Hearts lose…," Chris stated, "But congratulations to Skye, Jennifer, and Emma who now have invincibility, they all earned it…actually they didn't but whatever!" Chris laughed, "Matt, Dan, Jasper, or Ryan is now on the chopping block, who will go home?" Chris asked.

"Ryan," Matt said with a laugh.
